Calligraphy of Days
Alice-Catherine Carls, Krzysztof Siwczyk
Translated from Polish by Piotr Florczyk
Calligraphy of Days is a Polish multi-author or collaborative poetry volume from Poland, associated with Alice-Catherine Carls, Krzysztof Siwczyk, translated by Piotr Florczyk, and published by Seagull Books in 2024. It is a Polish multi-author volume where time appears as inscription, gesture, and daily mark. Its value is in the feeling that a day can be written through the body, by hand, before it becomes memory. I would read it first for the pressure of the translated line rather than as a puzzle waiting for its correct answer. The best version of a description for a book like this should give the reader a door, not a lecture: a little context, then permission to meet the poem through image, cadence, and affect. For this library, the book matters as more than a representative entry from Poland. It shows how poetry in translation can carry local weather, private intensity, and literary history into English without becoming merely informational.
